Chapter 2383 - 667: Edith Provokes Again! The Showdown!
In the evening, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin arrived on time at Edith’s house, a villa located not far from the Kremlin Palace.
An Yiqing got out of the car and looked up at the dazzling golden lights outside the villa, sighing softly, this princess sure knows how to enjoy life. At this moment, a servant approached and led An Yiqing and Gu Yelin to a small car, driving towards the main entrance of the villa.
When An Yiqing and Gu Yelin were brought inside the villa, Emory had already arrived. He sat on the sofa, Edith sitting beside him; both appeared to be in a bad mood.
An Yiqing’s gaze shifted slightly, as if she hadn’t noticed, she nodded in acknowledgment to the two.
"General Gu!" Edith, upon seeing Gu Yelin, immediately smiled radiantly. She stood up from the sofa, making elegant and hurried steps towards Gu Yelin, gazing at him affectionately, completely ignoring An Yiqing. After returning in the afternoon, she investigated a lot about this man. Perfect! This is the man worthy of her! She must get him!
Gu Yelin didn’t speak, not even glancing at her, instead nodding at Emory nearby. Edith seemed oblivious to Gu Yelin’s coldness and smiled, reaching out to hold his arm. However, Gu Yelin swiftly stepped aside, avoiding her.
"General Gu, this is merely Western etiquette. I suppose Miss An wouldn’t mind, would she?" Edith said with a smile.
An Yiqing raised her brows slightly, remaining silent. However, Gu Yelin mildly furrowed his brows, directing a cold, piercing gaze at Edith.
"Please call her Mrs. Gu, and also, I’m an Oriental."
With that, he wrapped his arm around An Yiqing’s waist and walked past Edith, engaging in small talk with Emory. Emory, with his back to Edith, secretly gave Gu Yelin a thumbs up, good job!
Edith’s face turned extremely ugly; she didn’t expect Gu Yelin to give her such a snub. After all, she is the most adored princess by her grandmother, doesn’t he fear stirring up a dispute between the two countries?
Taking a deep breath, Edith turned around, speaking nonchalantly, "It seems General Gu is a conservative Oriental. I have always been fond of Oriental culture, feeling that Western ways are overly liberal and not suitable for me. Upon meeting, I realize General Gu and I share similar interests, truly fate." Then, without waiting for Gu Yelin to respond, she turned to call, "Butler, prepare the meal, we shall dine."
Edith led An Yiqing and others to the dining room, where they settled in, amidst an unusual atmosphere. The dining room was rectangular, Edith sat at the head, Gu Yelin and An Yiqing sat on the right side, with Emory on her left. Watching An Yiqing smiling radiantly beside her, Edith took a deep breath, holding back her inner anger. Originally, this seat was arranged for Gu Yelin, but that man actually seated this woman here! Does he dislike her that much?
"I’ve always heard that General Gu is omnipotent. Seeing today, you actually gave the esteemed position to Mrs. Gu, it seems in your home, she might be stronger indeed." Edith smiled subtly; aren’t all men from Xuanjin supposed to be chauvinists? She can’t believe that Gu Yelin can endure having his wife’s position more esteemed than his own.
An Yiqing smiled without comment, lowering her head to stroke the wine glass, secretly contemplating how to teach this princess a lesson. Gu Yelin deliberately sliced the steak into small pieces and delivered them to An Yiqing’s plate, then spoke: "A couple is essentially one entity, what’s the harm in who is stronger? If she is strong, I will strive to be stronger. If she is weak, then I will become stronger, safeguarding her lifelong peace. In essence, as long as it’s her, no matter what she becomes, I will like her."
There shouldn’t be any woman who could hear such endearing words without being moved, especially when spoken by someone like Gu Yelin. At least, An Yiqing was touched. Originally, this was just a banquet of stratagems, yet hearing Ah Lin’s heartfelt words, she felt it was enough to die for in this lifetime.
She gazed tenderly at the man, and he returned her gaze warmly. Between the two, there was an abundance of happiness and understanding that no one could break apart.
Emory sighed inwardly, would he, this life, be able to find such a woman to spend his life with? This is truly a luxury.
And Edith didn’t feel this scene was beautiful at all; in fact, she found it exceedingly glaring. Her fingers gripping the fork gradually turned white, Edith was almost about to scream. She invited them here, not to see them flaunting their affection! She wants to break them apart! She must! Certainly!
